Purchasing a timeshare property is a good way to have a place to crash every year for your vacation.  It is much like owning a hotel room or a house in your favored vacation spot.  When buying your own beach house or mountain cottage, though, you would normally want to purchase an insurance policy as well.  This is to ensure that if anything untoward happens, you will not be burdened financially to deal with the problem with your property.

With timeshares, the situation may be a little different.  There are two general types of timeshares.  The first would be a deeded timeshare while the second would be a right to use timeshare.  For the deeded timeshare, it is much like owning your own property, except that you would be sharing it with other people and that you could only use your property at certain times of the year.  You will still have a deed, certifying your ownership.  One kind of insurance that you would need to have is the Title Insurance.  The need for this policy arises from the fact that the piece of timeshare property might have changed hands over the years, several times.  In this case, you never know if something might have happened in the past that could affect your current ownership.  This insurance type protects you from such complications.  However, Title Insurance should be covered by your timeshare company.  When looking to purchase a deeded timeshare, do ask for Title Insurance so that you would not have to take a policy out at your own expense and time.

As for insurance for the physical property such as fire, accident, and the like, you might have to take this out on your own for deeded timeshare property.  What you can do is make arrangements with your other co-owners so as to spread the costs of the insurance policy.  For right to use timeshares, however, you do not hold the deed to your timeshare property.  In fact, it is akin to renting the place for specific times.  As such, insurance is usually taken out by the resort or developer.  You still pay for part of the insurance and this is taken out of your maintenance fees which you pay each year.  As such, you do not really need to take out a separate insurance policy for your right to use timeshare property.
